A very Blessed Easter to one and all of you!

From the Pastor:

A very Blessed Easter to one and all of you, the wonderful people of Christ the King. I know it may not really feel much like Easter without being able to celebrate together in the church building, but we can celebrate together spiritually. As Easter people we know that Jesus Christ is Alive and lives among us each and every day, in faith let us never forget this truth!! So let our hearts resound with the joyous "ALLELUIAS" as our lips proclaim the Good News. God’s great love for His creation abounds, despite the situation, challenges, and circumstances we may face today. For He sent His Son, Jesus to us, to suffer and die, yet rise again conquering all sin and evil, only so that They could send us the Holy Spirit to enliven our hearts and bring us His lasting peace. May we live as Easter people in faith and trust that indeed God has all things in His plan and will indeed take care of us, who believe and follow His Will. 

I wish to leave you with this token from an Easter letter written by St. Athanasius, an early Church bishop:

"Moreover, my friends, the God who first established this feast of Easter for us allows us to celebrate it each year. He who gave up his Son to death for our salvation, from the same motive gives us this feast, which is commemorated every year. This feast guides us through the trials that meet us in this world. God now gives us the joy of salvation that shines out from this feast, as he brings us together to form one assembly, uniting us all in spirit in every place, allowing us to pray together and to offer common thanksgiving, as is our duty on the feast. Such is the wonder of his love: He gathers to this feast those who are far apart, and brings together in unity of faith those who may be physically separated from each other."

My Easter Blessing and Prayers for all of you, 
Fr. Fred
